I have no doubt he did a few dives and was skydiving in the movie. The debate is what makes you "An accomplished skydiver." For a whuffo, may be 5 - 10 dives. For me, maybe a little more.

If a skydiver were to apply for a job at my DZ and present himself as "accomplished" I'd want to see a little more than what Patrick has to offer.

Yeah, Whuffos have no idea. When someone asks how many jumps I've got they say "Man that's a bunch are you an instructor?" That's when I have to keep my male ego in check and say "Hell yeah, wanna go for a ride?" no seriously I hang my head and tell 'em no it takes a few more, about a thousand in fact; to be an instructor, my 21 don't quite cut it.

If Patrick Swayze is "an accomplished skydiver" then I stand a good chance of being elected as the next Pope.

I remember seeing him asked about on a late show interview, and he said he had about 75 jumps at the time the movie finished shooting. There is a scene inside the plane in which you watch him exit, and it is really him. I believe all the air-to-air footage was his double.
